SubjectProphet Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well, decided to review my experience with the new beta patch for Skyrim- 1.6. I started it on a fresh nw game, no mods active, new character, just for the vanilla side. The first thing I had was a bug. When I got off the cart in Helgen, Hadvar walked toward me, past me, and into the wall. He kept walking even though a wall was in his way. I hoped it would wear off, but uhhhh...... So, loaded the autosave. This time, everything went well. However, when entering the keep, I noticed a longer load time then usual. My normal load time is around 4-6 seconds, but this time, it was around 16 seconds. This sustained for the rest of Helgen, but it returned to normal afterwards. In Riverwood, I decided to kill the Bosmer, like I always do. Tradition, I guess. I used a bow, and a ranged killcam came up. I never fired the arrow, and was trapped in the killcam forever. Had to load my auto. Skipping to my first dragon fight, I finished it off with my bow for a killcam. It was laggy as hell, lasting for around 90 seconds, and I had extreme lag spikes for 15 minutes after that. Skippin to the Theif's Guild, Bryn's script wouldnt work properly when I entered the Flagon for the first time for his challenge. No NPC talked. So, I tried to use Horse Combat. First time, a CTD, so I was getting pretty mad at the problems 1.6 was causing. But the second time, it worked. Using my bow on my horse, I killed a dragon, wolf pack, vampire, several elk, and even a bear. I was heavily impressed. 1.6 seems to cause new problems, but it is a beta. The horse combat is great, helping me out quite a bit. Any similair expierances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrowjuice Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Mods that alter certain .hkx files conflict with the mounted combat and cause you to stand on your horse. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/683168-mounted-combat-arrives-in-skyrims-16/page__st__20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergeantGrrock Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The mounted combat sounds good but I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy about this. :sad: I hope the actual patch is a lot better. C'mon Beth, help a brother out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
